FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to antagonists of α4β7 integrin, and more particularly to cyclic peptide antagonists.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that are the bridges for cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. When triggered, integrins trigger chemical pathways to the interior (signal transduction), such as the chemical composition and mechanical status of the ECM.

Integrins are obligate heterodimers, having two different chains: the α (alpha) and β (beta) subunits.

The α4β7 integrin is expressed on lymphocytes and is responsible for T-cell homing into gut-associated lymphoid tissues through its binding to mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM), which is present on high endothelial venules of mucosal lymphoid organs. Inhibitors of specific integrin-ligand interactions have been shown effective as anti-inflammatory agents for the treatment of various autoimmune diseases. For example, monoclonal antibodies displaying high binding affinity for α4β7 have displayed therapeutic benefits for gastrointestinal auto-inflammatory/autoimmune diseases, such as Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis.

There is a need to develop improved α4β7 antagonists to prevent or treat inflammatory conditions and/or autoimmune diseases.

Certain methods of making cyclic peptides (nacellins) are described in Applicant's PCT Publication No. WO 2010/105363.

A protecting group or protective group is a substituent introduced into a molecule to obtain chemoselectivity in a subsequent chemical reaction. Many protecting groups are known in the art and a skilled person would understand the kinds of protecting groups that would be incorporated and could be used in connection with the methods described herein. In “protecting group based peptide synthesis”, typically solid phase peptide synthesis, the desired peptide is prepared by the step-wise addition of amino acid moieties to a building peptide chain. The two most widely used protocols, in solid-phase synthesis, employ tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc) or 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) as amino protecting groups. Amino protecting groups generally protect an amino group against undesirable reactions during synthetic procedures and which can later be removed to reveal the amine. Commonly used amino protecting groups are disclosed in Greene, T. W. et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Edition, John Wiley & Sons (1999). Amino protecting groups include acyl groups such as formyl, acetyl, propionyl, pivaloyl, t-butylacetyl, 2-chloroacetyl, 2-bromoacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, trichloroacetyl, o-nitrophenoxyacetyl, .alpha.-chlorobutyryl, benzoyl, 4-chlorobenzoyl, 4-bromobenzoyl, 4-nitrobenzoyl, and the like; sulfonyl groups such as benzenesulfonyl, p-toluenesulfonyl and the like; alkoxy- or aryloxy-carbonyl groups (which form urethanes with the protected amine) such as benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), p-chlorobenzyloxycarbonyl, p-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, p-bromobenzyloxycarbonyl, 3,4-dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 3,5-dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 2,4-dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 4-methoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 2-nitro-4,5-dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, 1-(p-biphenylyl)-1-methylethoxycarbonyl, .alpha.-, .alpha.-dimethyl-3,5-dimethoxybenzyloxycarbonyl, benzhydryloxycarbonyl, t-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc), diisopropylmethoxycarbonyl, isopropyloxycarbonyl, ethoxycarbonyl, methoxycarbonyl, allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), 2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl, 2-trimethylsilylethyloxycarbonyl (Teoc), phenoxycarbonyl, 4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl, fluorenyl-9-methoxycarbonyl (Fmoc), cyclopentyloxycarbonyl, adamantyloxycarbonyl, cyclohexyloxycarbonyl, phenylthiocarbonyl and the like; aralkyl groups such as benzyl, triphenylmethyl, benzyloxymethyl and the like; and silyl groups such as trimethylsilyl and the like. Amine protecting groups also include cyclic amino protecting groups such as phthaloyl and dithiosuccinimidyl, which incorporate the amino nitrogen into a heterocycle. Typically, amino protecting groups include formyl, acetyl, benzoyl, pivaloyl, t-butylacetyl, phenylsulfonyl, Alloc, Teoc, benzyl, Fmoc, Boc and Cbz. It is well within the skill of the ordinary artisan to select and use the appropriate amino protecting group for the synthetic task at hand.

Methods and Materials

Synthesis

Methods applicable for making the cyclic peptides described herein can be found generally in Applicant's PCT Publication No. WO 2010/105363 and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/775,319 claiming priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/254,003 filed on Nov. 11, 2015.

More specifically, the below protocols were used to synthesize each of the compounds as indicated in Table 1X. Multimer of the compounds were also synthesized as indicated in Table 2X.

Protocol A: General Nacellin Synthesis

1. Preparation of resin: Fmoc amino acid (1.1 eq. with respect to resin) was dissolved in CH₂Cl₂ (10 mL/g of resin). If the amino acid did not dissolve completely, DMF was added slowly dropwise until a homogeneous mixture persisted upon stirring/sonication. The 2-chlorotrityl resin was allowed to swell in CH₂Cl₂ (5 mL/g of resin) for 15 minutes. The CH₂Cl₂ was then drained and the Fmoc amino acid solution was added to the vessel containing the 2-Cl Trt resin. DIPEA was added (2 eq. with respect to the amino acid) and the vessel was agitated for five minutes. Another 2 eq. of DIPEA was then added and the vessel was left to agitate for an additional 60 minutes. The resin was then treated with methanol (1 mL/g of resin) to endcap any remaining reactive 2-Cl Trt groups. The solution was mixed for 15 minutes, drained and then rinsed with CH₂Cl₂ (×3), DMF (×3), CH₂Cl₂ (×2), and MeOH (×3). The resin was then dried under vacuum and weighed to determine the estimated loading of Fmoc amino acid.

2. Preparation of linear peptide sequence via manual or automated synthesis: Fully protected resin-bound peptides were synthesized via standard Fmoc solid-phase peptide chemistry manually or using an automated peptide synthesizer. All N-Fmoc amino acids were employed.

a. Fmoc deprotection: the resin was treated with 20% piperidine in NMP or DMF twice, for 5 and 10 minutes respectively, with consecutive DMF and NMP washes after each addition.

b. Fmoc amino acid coupling: the resin was treated with 3 eq. of Fmoc amino acid, 3 eq. of HATU and 6 eq. of DIPEA in NMP for 60 minutes. For difficult couplings, a second treatment with 3 eq. of Fmoc amino acid, 3 eq. of HATU and 6 eq. of DIPEA in NMP for 40 minutes was employed.

3. General cleavage with retention of protecting groups: Once the desired linear sequence was synthesized, the resin was treated with either 1.) 1:3, HFIP:CH₂Cl₂ or 2.) 5% TFA in CH₂Cl₂, twice for 30 minutes each, to afford cleavage from the solid support. The solvent was then removed, followed by trituration twice with chilled tert-butyl methyl ether (or diethyl ether/hexanes) to give the desired product. The purity was then analyzed by reverse-phase LCMS.

Protocol B: Preparation of N-Alkylated Fmoc Amino Acid Building Blocks

1. Resin prep: see protocol A, step 1

2. Fmoc deprotection: see protocol A, step 2a

3. Nosyl protection: The deprotected resin was stirred in CH₂Cl₂ (5 mL/mmol of resin) and DIPEA (6.5 eq.). A solution of Nosyl chloride (4.0 eq.) was added slowly, dropwise, over 30 minutes, to avoid a rapid exothermic reaction. After the addition was complete, stirring was continued at room temperature for three hours. The resulting nosyl-protected resin was filtered and washed with CH₂Cl₂, MeOH, CH₂Cl₂, and THF.

4. N-Methylation: To a suspension of resin in THF (10 mL/mmol of resin) was added a solution of triphenylphosphine (5 eq.) in THF (2 M) and MeOH (10 eq.). The stirring suspension was cooled in an ice bath. A solution of DIAD (5 eq.) in THF (1 M) was added dropwise, via addition funnel. After addition was complete the bath was removed and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for an additional 90 minutes. The resin was filtered, washed with THF (×4), CH₂Cl₂ (×3), and THF (×2).

5. Nosyl-deprotection: To a suspension of resin in NMP (10 mL/mmol of resin) was added 2-mercaptoethanol (10.1 eq.) and DBU (5.0 eq.). The solution became a dark green colour. After five minutes, the resin was filtered, washed with DMF until washes ran colourless. This procedure was repeated a second time, and the resin was then washed a final time with CH₂Cl₂.

6. Fmoc protection: To a suspension of resin in CH₂Cl₂ (7 mL/mmol of resin) was added a solution of Fmoc-Cl (4 eq.) in CH₂Cl₂ (7 mL), and DIPEA (6.1 eq.). The suspension was stirred at room temperature for four hours then filtered and washed with CH₂Cl₂ (×2), MeOH (×2), CH₂Cl₂ (×2), and Et₂O (×2).

7. Cleavage from resin: see protocol A, step 3

Protocol C: Reductive Amination

1. Fmoc Weinreb amide formation: a mixture of Fmoc amino acid (1 mmol), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine-HCl (1.2 eq.), and HCTU (1.2 eq.) in CH₂Cl₂ (6.5 mL), was cooled to 0° C. DIPEA (3 eq.) was then slowly added to the stirring mixture. The cooling bath was removed and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. A 10% solution of HCl (4 mL) was added resulting in the formation of a precipitate, which was removed through filtration. The filtrate was washed with 10% HCl (3×4 mL) and brine (2×4 mL). The organic phase was then dried over Na₂SO₄. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give crude Fmoc Weinreb amide, which was used in the next reaction without purification.

2. a) Fmoc amino aldehyde formation: lithium aluminum hydride powder (1.5 eq) was placed in a dry flask. THF (Sigma-Aldrich, 250 ppm of BHT, ACS reagent >99.0%, 6.5 mL) was added, and the resulting slurry was cooled to −78° C., with stirring. To the slurry was added a solution of the Fmoc Weinreb amide in THF (10 mL). The reaction vessel was transferred to an ice/water bath, and maintained at 0° C. for 1 h. To the reaction at 0° C., was added dropwise acetone (1.5 mL), then H₂O (0.25 mL) and then the reaction was left to stir for an additional hour at room temperature. The mixture was filtered through Celite, washed with EtOAc (10 mL) and MeOH (10 mL), and the filtrate was concentrated. The crude material was dissolved in CHCl₃ (6.5 mL) and washed with brine (2×3 mL) and the organic phase was then dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated to give the Fmoc amino aldehyde.

Alternatively, b) Under argon atmosphere a Lithium Aluminum Hydride 1.0 M solution in THF (Sigma-Aldrich, 157.81 mL, 157.82 mmol, 1 eq.) was slowly added over a solution of the Weinreb amide (157.82 mmol) in THF (Sigma-Aldrich, 250 ppm of BHT, ACS reagent >99.0%, 1 L) at 0° C. and then stirred for 1 h. The reaction at 0° C., was diluted with Et₂O (500 mL) and the resultant solution was washed with 10% NaHSO₄ (10×300 mL), 10% KHSO₄ (10×300 mL) and HCl (10×300 mL). The organic phase was then dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated to afford the crude Fmoc amino aldehyde.

3. Reductive amination on-resin: the linear peptide on-resin was placed in a solid-phase peptide synthesis reaction vessel and diluted with DMF (22 mL/g of resin). The Fmoc aldehyde (4.0 eq.) was added and the reaction was left to shake overnight. The solution was then drained and the resin was washed with CH₂Cl₂ (×3) and DMF (×3). The resin was then diluted with a mixture of MeOH/CH₂Cl₂ (22 mL/g of resin, 1:3 ratio) and NaBH₄ (7 eq.) was subsequently added. The mixture was left to shake for four hours, then the solution was drained and the resin was washed with CH₂Cl₂ (×3) and DMF (×3).

Protocol D: Fragment-Based Macrocyclization

a) In a two-dram vial, 0.1 mmol of the linear peptide and DEPBT (1.5 eq.) were dissolved in 5 mL of freshly distilled THF (0.02 M). DIPEA (3 eq.) was then added and the reaction mixture was left to stir overnight at room temperature (16 h). Tetraalkylammonium carbonate resin (Biotage®, 6 eq.) was then added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued for an additional 24 h. The reaction was then filtered through a solid-phase extraction vessel and rinsed with CH₂Cl₂ (2 mL). The filtrate and washes were combined and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure.

Alternatively, b) In a two-dram vial, 0.1 mmol of the linear peptide and HATU (2.0 eq.) were dissolved in 80 mL of CH₂Cl₂ (1.25 mM). DIPEA (6 eq.) was then added and the reaction mixture was left to stir overnight at room temperature (16 h). The solvent was removed under reduced pressure.

Protocol E: Aziridine Aldehyde-Based Macrocyclization

The linear peptide was dissolved in TFE (if solubility problems were encountered, a 50:50 mixture of TFE:CH₂Cl₂ was used for the cyclization). Then 0.6 eq. of (S)-aziridine-2-carboxaldehyde dimer (prepared as per literature protocol: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128 (46), 14772-14773 and Nat. Protoc. 2010, 5 (11), 1813-1822) as a TFE stock solution (0.2 M) was added, giving a final reaction mixture concentration of 0.1 M. tert-Butyl isocyanide (1.2 eq.) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred for four hours. Progress was analyzed along the way via LC-MS.

Protocol F: Nucleophilic Ring-Opening of Acyl Aziridine, Post Macrocyclization

a) Thioacetic acid/thiobenzoic acid: the corresponding thio acid (4 eq.) was added to the crude reaction mixture. Reaction progress was monitored by LC-MS, and was generally complete after 1-2 hours.

Alternatively, b) Thiophenol: Thiophenol (4 eq.) and DIPEA (4 eq.) were added to the crude cyclization mixture. Reaction progress was monitored by LC-MS, and was generally complete after 1-2 hours. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and dried under vacuum. Crude material was either triturated with Et₂O/hexanes or TBME, or alternatively, diluted with H₂O, frozen and lyophilized.

Protocol G: Suzuki Coupling, Post Macrocyclization

a) As a general example, an iodo-Phe-containing macrocycle (0.1 mmol), Na₂CO_(s)(2 eq.), substituted boronic acid (1.1 eq.) and 4 mL of water:acetonitrile (1:1 ratio) were combined in a microwave vial. The mixture was treated with N₂ gas flow for 10 minutes. While under N₂, silicon based Pd-catalyst (Siliacat-DPP Pd heterogenous catalyst, 0.05 eq.) was added. The reaction vial was sealed and placed in the microwave for 10 minutes at 120° C. (reaction time and temperature were increased to 30 min. and 150° C., depending on the substrate) or thermally heated at 90° C. for 1 h. Reaction progress was monitored by LCMS. Once complete, the reaction was filtered through a Celite plug and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure.

Alternatively, b) as a specific example, Suzuki couplings with macrocycles that were prepared using 3-(((((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-4-bromobenzoic acid were conducted as follows: A mixture of crude macrocyclic Compound 340 that had been orthogonally protected as the p-tert-butyl ester of the Asp residue and the tert-butyl ether of the Thr residue (200 mg, 0.22 mmol) and 4-(4-Boc-piperazino) phenylboronic acid pinacol ester (171 mg, 0.44 mmol) were dissolved in a 1,2-dimethoxyethane (5.4 mL) and Ethanol (1.2 mL) at room temperature. Water (1.2 mL) was added to the solution, followed by Na₂CO_(s)(35 mg, 0.33 mmol). The reaction flask was flushed for at least 5 to 10 min under nitrogen gas and then catalyst SiliaCat-DPP Pd (88 mg, 10 mol %, 0.25 mmol/gm) was added. The reaction mixture was heated with stirring under nitrogen at 90° C. for 1 hr. LCMS after 1 hour showed complete consumption of substrate and ˜ 5% de-bromination compound; the desired Suzuki cross-coupled product represented ˜ 84% yield after taking into account the excess of boronate ester by UV. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered over a celite pad to remove catalyst SiliaCat-DPP Pd. The celite pad was washed with a little DCM and the solvents were removed under vacuum to give pale yellow crude solid as the Suzuki coupling product. Reagent 3-(((((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-4-bromobenzoic acid was itself prepared from methyl 3-(aminomethyl)-4-bromobenzoate (US2011251247) via saponification of the methyl ester and protection of the amine as the Fmoc carbamate, as follows: to a solution of methyl 3-(aminomethyl)-4-bromobenzoate (1.36 g, 5.57 mmol) in Dioxane (33 ml) and Water (9 ml) was added lithium hydroxide (6.13 ml, 6.13 mmol).

The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent was evaporated to ˜50 ml. Precipitation began to occur and was allowed to slowly continue overnight at room temperature. White solid was then collected by filtration, washed with hexane and dried under high vacuum to afford 3-(((((9H-fluoren-9-yl)methoxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)-4-bromobenzoic acid (2.0 g, 4.42 mmol, 79% yield).

Protocol H: General Ulmann Coupling, Post Macrocyclization

Under inert atmosphere, the peptide macrocycle (0.018 mmol) was placed in a 2-dram vial containing 2 mL of dry CH₂Cl₂. Cu(OAc)₂ (1 eq.), benzene boronic acid (2 eq.) and 4 Å (oven-dried) molecular sieves were then added to the vial followed by DIPEA (4 eq.). The contents of the vial were stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction progress was assessed by LCMS. Once the reaction was deemed complete, the mixture was filtered through a Celite plug and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure.

Protocol I: General Global Deprotection and Cleavage

Deprotection of the side chain protecting groups was achieved by dissolving the peptides in 2 mL of a cleavage cocktail consisting of TFA:H₂O:TIS (95:2.5:2.5) for two hours (for sensitive peptides the mixture of TFA:H₂O:TIS (95:2.5:2.5) may be substituted for a mixture of TFA:CH₂Cl₂ (50:50)). Subsequently, the cleavage mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure and the peptides were precipitated twice from chilled diethyl ether/hexanes (or tert-butyl methyl ether).

Once the reaction was deemed complete, the mixture was filtered through a Celite plug, washed with MeOH and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure.

Or alternatively, b) Raney Ni desulfurization/debenzylation: Raney Ni slurry (1-2 mL) was added directly to the cyclization reaction mixture and stirred vigorously overnight. The vial was then centrifuged and the liquid was transferred using a pipette to a tared vial. MeOH was added to the vial containing Raney Ni. The vial was then sonicated, vortexed, and centrifuged. Again, the liquid was transferred to a tared vial. This process was repeated with EtOAc and then a final time with MeOH.

The macrocycle solution was then added to the solution of the fluorescent label. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. Reaction progress was checked by LC-MS in the morning and then the solvent was removed by lyophilization.

Protocol M: Purification Methods

All macrocycles were purified using reverse-phase flash column chromatography using a 30 g RediSep C18 Gold Column. The gradient consisted of eluents A (0.1% formic acid in double distilled water) and B (0.1% formic acid in HPLC-grade acetonitrile) at a flow rate of 35 mL/min.

In vivo T lymphocyte trafficking analysis in mouse model of colitis

Animal care: The animal care facility employed is accredited by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC). This study was approved by a certified Animal Care Committee and complied with CACC standards and regulations governing the use of animals for research. The animals were housed under standardized environmental conditions. A standard certified commercial rodent diet was provided ad libitum. Tap water was provided ad libitum at all times.

Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was administered to C57Bl/6 female mice for five days through addition to their drinking water at 3%. Body weight and disease activity index (“DAI”) were measured on Day 5 in order to distribute DSS-treated animals in uniform groups prior to dosing. DAI was scored based on the severity three specific symptoms associated with colitis: 1—blood in stool (negative hemoccult, positive hemoccult, blood traces in stool visible, rectal bleeding); 2—stool consistency (normal, soft but still formed, very soft, diarrhea); 3—body weight loss.

From Day 6 to day 9, Compound No. 517 (ET03764) or the vehicle were administered orally daily at 5 ml/kg. On day 9, four hours after dosing, the animals were euthanized by cardiac puncture under general anesthesias. Mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) were collected, triturated, and washed in HBSS-FCS. The cells were incubated for 15 minutes in BD mouse FcBlock followed by 30-minute incubation with specific antibodies. After washes, cells were either fixed using BD fix solution or immediately process for cell surface marker staining. The antibodies used were as followed: CD4 PE (BD Bioscience), CD44 FITC (BD Biosciences), CD45RB PerCy 5.5 (BD Biosciences), α4b7 PE (eBiosciences). Cell populations were then analyzed using FACSCanto cytometer and gating on CD4+, CD44^(hi), CD45RB^(low), α4β7+.

Statistical analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism. Differences among groups were evaluated by two-way ANOVA, with a 95% confidence interval.

Results and Discussion

Compounds were synthesized in accordance with the above-noted methods. A selection of compounds was characterized using NMR (not all data shown). A subset of NMR data is provided in FIG. 6 for Compound No. 390.

Binding Affinity and Selectivity of Compounds for Integrin α4β7 and α4β1

We measured binding potency for monomeric and dimeric compounds to α4β7-integrin using a battery of biochemical, cell-based and ex-vivo assays. Multimeric compounds were generally more potent in cellular assays.

We measured the ability of test articles to prevent the adhesion of RMP18866 cells, which express integrin α4β7, to plates coated with MAdCAM-1. Multimeric compounds were generally more potent in their ability to inhibit cell adhesion than their constituent monomers. For example Compound No. 340 (ET2451) and Compound No. 456 (ET4062) had IC50 of 175 and 199 nM respectively in the RPM18866 cell adhesion assays (Table 1C and 1C′). Multimeric compounds with over 10-fold greater potency than their constituent monomeric compounds were generated. For example, Compound No. 517 (ET3764), a homodimer of Compound No. 340 (ET2451), had an IC50 of 9.9 nM in the RPM18866 cell adhesion assay. Compound multimers generated from monomeric Compound 456 (ET4062) also showed higher binding affinity (Table 2C).

Similar results were obtained in a ligand competition assay for binding to integrin α4β7 in human whole blood. Receptor occupancy of nacellins was determined by measuring the proportion of α4β7+ memory T helper cells able to bind biotinylated rhMAdCAM-1 using flow cytometry (FIG. 7 ). Multimeric compounds were able to compete with MadCAM-1 on α4β7-positive primary cells with greater potency than monomeric compounds. Two general monomeric chemotypes were shown to compete more effectively, with increased potency for binding to integrin α4β7 when multimerized using a variety of linkers. For example, Dimeric Compound No.s 534 (ET4113) and 535 (ET4110) demonstrated IC50 of 38 and 76 nM respectively while the corresponding parent monomeric Compound No. 456 (ET4062) only reached 15% receptor occupancy at the maximum concentration of 1000 nM. Similarly, the dimeric Compound No.s 517 (ET3764) and 390 (ET3755) competed with a saturating amount of MAdCAM, with EC50 of 38 and 90 nM respectively within the same study. The corresponding monomeric Compound 340 (ET2451) reached 50% receptor occupancy at low concentrations but no concentration-response curve could be obtained. This could be the result of non-specific binding of the monomeric compound to the cell.

Interestingly, differences in binding affinity between monomeric and multimeric compounds were not as pronounced in ELISA binding assays. It is possible that avidity enhances the binding potency of multimeric compounds in cells.

Multimeric compounds showed enhanced selectivity for integrin α4β7 over integrin α4β1. In order to determine the selectivity of the compounds in cell assays, we measured the adhesion of Ramos cells, which express integrin α4β1 to VCAM-coated plates. Multimeric compounds had generally higher selectivity for integrin α4β7 over integrin α4β1 than their monomeric constituents. For example, monomeric Compound No.s 340 (ET2451) and 456 (ET4062) showed 16- and 45-fold selectivity, respectively, when comparing α4β7 versus α4β1 cell adhesion assays. In contrast, multimeric compounds based on monomeric Compound No. 340 (ET2451) exhibited 20- to 100-fold selectivity in favor of integrin α4β7, and multimeric compounds based on monomeric Compound No. 456 (ET4062) exhibited no measurable effect on the adhesion of α4β1l-expressing Ramos cells to VCAM (Table 2C).

In Vivo T Lymphocyte Trafficking Analyses

The ability of several integrin alpha-4-beta-7-inhibiting compounds to attenuate the trafficking of integrin alpha-4-beta-7-expressing T lymphocytes was demonstrated in in vivo pharmacodynamics studies in DSS-treated mice. Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) induces chronic colitis in experimental animals when given orally in drinking water for five days followed by no DSS in drinking water. Chronic inflammation is associated with the infiltration of leucocytes from the blood to intestinal tissues. The interaction between integrin α4β7 and MAdCAM-1 on the endothelium of the gut allows adhesion and trafficking of T cells to the gut. The ability of several integrin alpha-4-beta-7-inhibiting nacellins to attenuate the trafficking of integrin alpha-4-beta-7-expressing T lymphocytes was demonstrated in in vivo pharmacodynamics studies in DSS-treated mice.

A study was conducted in which mice were exposed for 5 days to dextran sulfate in their drinking water. On days 6 to 9, compounds or vehicle were administered orally daily. Mesenteric lymph nodes were collected 4 hours following the last dose and assessed. As shown in FIG. 8 , Compound No. 517 (ET3764) reduced the detection of integrin □4□7+ T helper memory lymphocytes in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN). Compound No. 517, administered at a dose of 80 mg/kg, reduced the number of α4β7+ positive lymphocytes by 60%.

We determined that the level of reduction in α4β7+ T helper memory lymphocytes detected in the mesenteric lymph nodes of DSS treated mice was dependent on the dose of Compound No. 517 administered. FIG. 9 shows the dose-dependent reduction in α4β7+ T cells present in the mesenteric lymph nodes.

We compared the ability of compounds to inhibit the binding of labeled human recombinant MADCAM-1 or VCAM to α4β7-positive or α4β7-negative Th memory cells respectively. Whole blood from a single donor was incubated with compounds and saturated amounts of recombinant ligands. The inhibition of MAdCAM or VCAM binding was measured on T cell subsets using FACS analysis. As shown in FIG. 10 , representative multimeric Compound No.s 517, 482, 530 and 534 inhibited MAdCAM-1 binding to primary cells with IC50 values ranging from 87 to 141 nM. The same representative compounds bound to VCAM with lower affinity, with IC50 values ranging from 600 nM to undetectable binding at 4000 nM (FIG. 11 ).
